Then you can try to convince me that it's a good idea.

I have the following custom column:

program:

cmp(
raw_field('#number_fandoms'),
2,
'No',
'No',
'Yes'
)

I would like to make a "condition" (or whatever it's called) in my personal.ini that says if that column is "Yes" then use a specific cover.

1. generate_cover_settings in personal.ini can only see FFDL metadata entries. It doesn't have access to read calibre custom columns.
2. You can accomplish the same thing using add_genre_when_multi_category and looking for Crossover (or whatever you choose) in 'category' in your generate_cover_settings.

That's generally an error caused by some of the characters of a story not being in the correct encoding (UTF8, ISO8859-1, etc) for the site.

If you post the story URL that gives the error, I'll look into it.

FimFiction just made a major update to the site... FFDL right now fails with it

And is your version of calibre >= 1.48.0?

Attached is a new test version with FaceDeer's fixes for fimfiction.net.

Please let us know if you have any problems with. A couple people reporting that it works would be nice, too.

Hello out there,

I'm trying to organize my tags with FFDL and hope you will be able to help me. I'd like to have the tags from fanfiction.net to be "full names" (Harry Potter instead of Harry P.) and therefore want to rename the fandom into "Harry Potter Works". The first part works, the latter not. (In the code I use only "Harry" in order to be able to see if the retagging actually worked. I didn't want to "interfere" with the renaming of the fandom.)

I added into the personal.ini the following lines:

[www.fanfiction.net]
## fanfiction.net's 'cover' images are really just tiny thumbnails.
## Change this to false to use them anyway.
never_make_cover: false
sort_ships:true
keep_in_order_characters:true
replace_metadata:
 fandoms=>Harry Potter=>Harry Potter Works
 characters=>Harry P.=>Harry

Do I actually need the "keep_in_order_characters" part?

I really appreciate your help.

[JimmXinu]

it's category, not fandoms:

[www.fanfiction.net]
replace_metadata:
 category=>Harry Potter=>Harry Potter Works
 characters=>Harry P.=>Harry

Not for what you've shown.

Test version is working well for me. Updates and adds new stories both with no problems.

Thank you, Jimm! Works perfectly now.

I've got another question: When downloading a story from A3 sometimes the ship-tag "Harry Potter/Severus Snape" or even "Harry/Severus" is there, but not "Harry Potter" and "Severus Snape" as character-tags. I would like to have the ship as "Harry/Severus" (which works) plus the characters extracted as single tags ("Harry Potter", "Severus Snape") Is this possible?

I've got this in my ini-file:

[archiveofourown.org]
sort_ships:true
replace_metadata:
 category=>Harry Potter.*=>Harry Potter Works
 characters=>Harry=>Harry Potter
 characters=>Severus=>Severus Snape
 ships=>Harry Potter/Severus Snape=>Harry/Severus

What do I have to add here? Thanks again for any hints in advance.
